Barnes' Wire Chec k Rower. 

FIRST AND ONLY ENTIRELY SUCCESSFUL WIRE CHECK ROWER INVENTED. 



Popular Because Simple and Easy to Operate. 



As a matter of economy, the use of Check Rowers has become indispensable 
to farmers in the saving of labor, time and money, and by enabling them to be at 
work planting at times when, under the old way, they would have to be idle. 

The unprecedented sales of the Barnes Check Rower is the best and most 
substantial evidence of its merits, as well as of its value and importance to the 
farmer as a LABOR-SAVING MACHINE. 

The Barnes Wire Check Rower is the first Check Rower that has ever ac- 
complished the great object of making corn checking o. perfection^ thus saving both 
time and money. 

No money has been spared in bringing the Barnes Wire Check Rower to 
perfection, and nothing has been used in its manufacture but the very best. The 
Annealed Steel Wire is the very best manufactured in the United States, and is 
made specially for use on the Barnes'. There is no stretching or drawing up of 
the wire, as in time past in the use of Rope Check Rowers , all unnecessary fric- 
tion on the pulleys, also heavy draft and all side draft is entirely overcome, as the 
WIRE DOES NOT CROSS THE MACHINE. A wire that does not cross 
the 7nachine xvill otitlast several xvires that do cross. 

The following points will readily suggest themselves to all practical men as a 
reason for using a Barnes Wire Check Rower: 

It saves markina ofi:' the ground. 
j Saves all delaj in planting. 

1 Dispenses wj'ch the expense of a dropper on the planter, which of itself is a 

verv great sav^.ig. 

i ' j^'^ ^ -=. ^ 



Plants corn straighter than by any other method ; reduces corn planting to 
accurate measurement, not guesswork. 

With the use of a Check Rower farmers will be prepared to plant in wet 
weather immediately after the plow, thus giving the corn an equal start with the 
weeds, which alone, in the maturing of one crop, will make many times the cost of 
a Check Rower. 

The advantage of having the rows straight will be appreciated b}' faimers 
who know how much easier it is to plow out the weeds between straight rows 
than crooked. 

More corn can be raised on an acre of ground with the use of the Barnes Wire 
Check Rower than by any other plan, on account of being able to plant right after 
the plow, while the ground is in order. 

The following are the advantages over any other Check Rower: 

The Tviye is easy to handle as a rope. 

Use of luirein place of rope, and that one -wire will outlast two ropes. 

The -wire will not stretch and shrink like a rope. 

The wire does not cross the machine^ thus avoiding a GREAT WEAR AND 
STRAIN ON THE WIRE and friction on the pulleys, and making a wire that 
does not cross the machine, outwea*- several wires that do cross. This point is ap- 
parent to any reflecting person. 

The use of a wire, because it is the only thing that can be used for measuring 
distances accurately when draw7i tight — if laid LOOSE it would be impossible to 
measure correctly. This being the case the use of a -wire drarvn tight is the only 
thing that can check true. A child can understand this. 

There is no side draft. 

It will plant perfectly and more in check. 

The operator does not have to get off the machine to throw the ivire oft' at the 
end of the field. 

It will work on any planter as*^now made. 

It is easy to work and to understand. 

It is durable in all its parts. 

More corn can be raised on an acre of ground with the use of the Barnes 
Wire Check Rower than by any other. 

Buy a Barnes Wire Check Rower and be convinced.

BUSINESS LAWS IN DAILY USE. 

If a note is lost or stolen, it does not release the maker ; he must pay it, if the 
consideration for which it was given and the amount can be proven. 

Notes bear interest only when so stated. 

Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents. 

Each individual in a partnership is responsible for the whole amount of the 
debts of the firm except in cases of special partnership. 

Ignorance of the law excvises no one. 

The law compels no one to do impossibilities. 

An agreement without a consideration is void. 

A note made on Sunday is void. 

Contracts made on Sunday cannot oe enforced. / 

A note by a minor is void. 

A contract made with a minor is void. 

A contract made with a lunatic is void. 

A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in state of intoxication, cannot 
be collected. 

It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. 

Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. 

A receipt for money is not always conclusive. 

The acts of one partner bind all the rest. 

"Value received" is usually writteii in a note, and should be, but is not 
necessary. If not written it is presumed by the law, or may be supplied by proof. 

The maker of an "accommodation" bill or note (one for which he has re- 
ceived no consideration, having lent his name or credit for the accommodation 
of the holder) is not bound to the person accommodated, but is bound to all other 
parties, precisely as if there was a good consideration. 

No consideration is sufficient in law if it be illegal in its nature. 

Checks or drafts must be presented for payment without unreasonable delay. 

A note indorsed in blank (the name of the indorser only written) is transferable 
by delivery, the same as if made payable to bearer. 

If the time of payment of a note is not inserted, it is held payable on de- 
inand. 

.The time of payment of a note must not depend upon a contingency. The 
promise must be absolute. 

The payee should be distinctly named in the note, unless it is payable to 
bearer. 

An indorsee has a right of action against all whose nanies were on the 
bill when he received it. 

If two or more persons as partners are jointly liable on a note or bill, due 
notice to one of them is sufficient. 

If a note or bill is transferred as security, or even as payment of a pte- 
existing debt, the debt revives if the bill or note be dishonored. 

An indorsement may be written on the face or back. 

An indorser may prevent his own liability to be sued by writing "without re- 
course," or similar words. 

All claims which do not rest upon a seal or judgment must be sued within 
six years from the time when they arise. 



BUSINESS LAWS— Continued. 

Part payment of a debt x-hich has passed the time of statutory limitation, 
revives the whole debt, and tne claim holds good for another, period of six years 
from the date of such partial payment. 

A verbal promise to pay, made without conditions, is generally held as 
sufficient to revive a claim otherwise shut out by the law of limitation. * 

If when a debt is dvie the debtor is out of the State, the "six years" do not 
begin to run until he returns. If he afterward leave the State, the time for- 
ward counts the same as if he remained in the State. 

An oral agreement must be proven by evidence. A written agreement proves 
itself. The law prefers written to oral evidence because of its precision. 

No evidence may be introduced to contradict or vary a written contract ; but 
it may be received in order to explain it, when such contract is in need of explana- 
tion. 



TO MEASURE CORN IN THE CRIB. 

Multiply the length of the crib in feet by the height of the crib in feet, and 
this product by width of crib in feet, then take 5-12 of this product and you have 
the number of bushels. 

To find the number of bushels of apples, potatoes, etc., in a bin, multiply the 
length, breadth and thickness together, and this product by 8, and point off one 
figure in the product for decimals. 



RULE FOR GAUGING A BIN, CRIB, OR WAGON BOX OF CORN 

IN THE EAR. 

The gauging of ear corn in bulk is done by the 26, 27 or 28 inch gauge, and is 
a question usually settled by the buyer and seller, according to soundness of the 
corn. 

Multiply length, breadth and height together in inches, and for 26-inch gauge, 
divide by 3,744; for 27-inch gauge, divide by 3,888, and for 28-inch gauge divide 
^y 4>032. 

Note, — The 28-inch gauge is seldom used. 



TO COMPUTE INTEREST. 

Eight Per Cent. — Multiply by number of days, and divide by 45. 

Nine Per Cent. — Multiply by nvnnber of days, separate right hand figure and 
divide by 4. 

Ten Per Cent. — Multiply by number of days and divide hy 36. 

Twelve Per Cent. — Multiply by tlie number of days, separate right hand 
^gure, and divide by 3. 

Fifteen Per Cent. — Multiply by number of days and divide by i\.

ONLY DOUBLE RING INVENTED 



CHAMPION HOG RINGER 

^Rizigrs a,i:i.d. HolcLer. 

No sharp points in the flesh to cavise irritation and sore- 
ness, as in case of rings that close with he joints in the 
flesh. They do not crush or break the bone, or cut the cord 
running down the nose, or the eyes centering- in the nose, 
which, if injured, produce soreness of the nose. 

To obviate the accumulation of dirt on top of the hog's 
nose, and to prevent the ring from turning in the nose, in- 
sert the Champion Double Ring so that the crossbar comes 
in FRONT of the nose, and not on the top. The ring can 
., ,g ,,, 1 .^ be inserted quicker this way. 

New Improvement in Champion Ringer. — We have 
made a Center Groove in the jaws of the Champion 
Ringer, so as to insert the Brown Pig Ring in pigs' noses 
— the only Single Pig Ring that closes on the outside of 
the nose. 

CLOSES ON OUTSIDE OF NOSE. 

Hog Ringers 50 cents each 

IPIRIOIES •{ Nickeled Hog Wringers 40 cents per hundred 

Hog Holders 65 cents each 




Only Single Ring Ever Invented that Closes on the Outside of the Nose. 

BROWN'S ELLIPTICAL RIIVO 

AND TRIPLE GROOVE HOG AND PIG RINGER. 

This is the only Single Ring ever invented that CLOSES 
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE NOSE. It overcomes a 
serious defect in all triangular and other rings which close 
with the joints together in the flesh, thereby compressing a 
part of the flesh between the ends of the ring, causing it to 
decay and to keep the nose sore. 

It is also made with a Center Groove, smaller, for the 
purpose of inserting small Rings in a pig's nose. No ad- 
justing necessary. No set screw necessary. Always ready 
for use. 

THE CHAMPION HOG HOLDER 

speaks for itself in the above cuts. It is so simple and prac- 
tical t.iat a boy of twelve years can hold a 400 pound hog 
without any trouble. 

Be sure and ask for BROWN'S ELLIPTICAL RING. AND 
TRIPLE GROOVE HOG AND P G RINGER, and take no other 
Brown or bogus rings that close in the nose. 

PRICES. — Hog Ringer, 50c.; Hog Rings, per 100, 35c.; Pig Rings, per 
100, 35c.; Hog Holder, 65c.
